    Unsure. I like the idea of making my own so I can extend the bottoms all the way to the front and rear of the trailer to make a step/platform.

    If I can find a pre-made set for cheap enough that'll work, I'll probably do that then build off of them.

    Do you remember if they're flat top or rounded? The ones I saw at Northern Tool were rounded and I'm going with flat just to have "usable" surface area.

    2" spacer/adapters came in for the trailer. Now I can run the truck's 6 lug wheels on the trailers 5 lug hubs. Went this route because it was the most cost effective as I would've needed spacers anyway to allow the tires to clear the trailer's side. Now I just hope the 2" is enough...

    Those are some interesting looking spacers. Should be pretty awesome with the tries mounted!

    They're a two piece design. The bottom half mounts to the trailers 5 lug hub. The top half mounts to the 6 lug wheels. The two halfs bolt together.

    Personally, I couldn't imagine how people run these on vehicles...but on a little 3.5'x5' trailer that'll weigh <1k pounds fully loaded, I'm confident it'll be solid.

    If I had time to cut the fenders off the trailer this week, I'd of already had the wheels mounted (or at least tried if the 2" spacer wasn't enough). It'll have to wait until next week. :(

    People run those on vehicles?!?! I would not want to be next to that truck on the highway. I think they should do fine on a trailer like you'll run them.
